About Us

Flameback is a woodpecker that is found in Southern India. Woodpeckers are unique in the way they catch insects to feed themselves. They have long beeks and tongues which allow them to reach deep inside a tree trunk to catch insects.

We try to emulate the qualities of a Flameback in that we strive for strength, perseverance and skill. Our investment approach follows suit as well in that it is research driven and focused on implementing strategies with discipline. We don’t seek home runs but rather continuously search for patterns that can generate consistent returns.

We are a SEBI registered financial advisor with Registration Number INA200013798.

About us

Systematic Investment Approach

We look for opportunities that offer repeatable sources of return by identifying patterns and combining fundamental and quantitative strategies. Once a pattern is identified, we codify the strategy and implement it with discipline to reduce biases.

Value Proposition

A rigorous research process ensures that investment strategies are well-tested, refined and not a result of chance before being deployed.

  • Roster of investment strategies that have a real trading record.
  • We have developed an in-house tech platform that allows us to back test, live-simulations, automatically detects and executes trades based on our algorithms, with built-in functions for risk and trade management.
  • Quant or systematic strategies offer better reliability than discretionary strategies as the return and risk parameters are evaluated against a benchmark. It’s especially favored by institutional investors because of ability to predict highly probable outcomes, shorter feedback loops and being more process driven.
  • Systematic strategies and tech platform reduce significantly investment cost
